Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Anions are pervasive throughout biological systems and the environment. This is the reason anion recognition and sensing has attracted considerable attention in recent years. Most of the anions are spectroscopically silent, and therefore, it is a significant challenge to develop artificial receptors and probes for anions with a selective analytical response. For instance, in recent years, colorimetric and fluorescent probes as well as hosts with electrochemically active groups have attracted more attention; however, exploration of new approaches to detect binding events is necessary.
The guest editors cordially encourage you to submit your research paper devoted to chemosensors for anion recognition. The research may include developments of new hosts for anions and new approaches to detect anions in organic and aqueous solution. Among classical inorganic anions, the work may include biologically active compounds, which are found in living organisms in the form of anions (organic acids, nucleotides, short DNA sequences).

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Chemosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
